In response to a national shortage of sodium thiopental, a drug used in lethal injection, some death penalty states have decided to find new sources of the drug overseas. Other states have replaced it with a new drug that has not been properly vetted. These changes to the lethal injection process leave prisoners at risk of being tortured to death.
